Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I realized that my bike was stolen. It was no big deal, my name and number was on it, but it was a crappy bike anyway. I live 3 miles away, and while I was on my walk home I noticed a bike had been thrown through my principal's window. Who's bike was it? Mine. FML
Today, I decided to bike to work. I normally forget the key to my lock, so I leave it out back and hope that nobody takes it, and nobody does. I finally remembered my lock key so I chained it up. After my 7 hour shift, I walk to the back only to find the lock had been cut, and my bike was gone. FML

Today, my bike got stolen because I left my keys in the lock. On my way home, I saw my bike in front of a store, unlocked. I jumped on it, only to get punched in the face by the guy that had taken it, and got it stolen from me again. FML

Thing is, people who steal bikes usually also try to SELL them immediately. The person who now uses the bike may have purchased it "Used" from the thief. Don't go violent. OP should have reported it stolen to the police so there was a paper trail right away.

Dude clearly knows how to keep his possessions safe, was not cheap enough to buy a nice lock, and hire a policeman to watch it!

so wait for the guy to come out,unlock it, and kick his teeth in. or get some bolt cutters and take it back, or even a $1 lock and put your lock on it aswell so they cant take it. personally this happened to me at wallmart and i beat the living shit out of the guy and ended up decking another guy that got in the way.

Just going to do all this with a cop observing across the street?. You have no proof it’s your bike. At least the guy who stole it has a key to the lock.

Everything of mine that might get stolen has a hidden Easter egg of some sort that a thief would never know about, and that you can't see form the outside. Trivial example: I have a red stapler on my desk at work. If it gets stolen, all I have to do is tell them that if they take the rubber base off, you'll see the words, "Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler."
